Hell yes..driving hurts like buggery but I'll be there...and so will Piglet3 (the vit). Not missing out again. Loads of Deep Heat and I'll be fine! I will have 2 vehicles there, the monster LJ and the Vitara driven by a friend who still can't admit he bought road tyres and not all terrains as he still insists they are :hahaha:

Superb!

Look after your knee properly though, mate.

The knee is a minor inconvenience now my back has joined in the fun and games. Back to the docs on monday...it's so painful I can barely stand up. But Piglet6 got her brakes sorted and all seemed fine but they have gone all spongy now. Maybe it's because I haven't done the master cylinder yet? Time will tell..the new spacers went on the front only to discover the rear already has them to balance the axle widths. So they are going on the Vitara after the virtual lift is finished.

I've had the back issue a few times on the multiple occasions I've screwed my knee, it can happen because your keeping all your weight on the good leg, take it steady dude!

Nice work on the LJ, which one is coming to billing?

I forgot to ask my dad when he popped up earlier but I'm sure he will want it so yeah that's probably the easiest way to do it :thumbup:

I might actually give my SJ a lick of paint before billing, it's starting to look a bit worse for wear after a few years of daily driving and off-road abuse :lol:

New master cylinder in and the brakes all bled, a new copper pipe needed making up and that fuel line is shagged! Still not right..I suspect the load proportion valve but the bleed nipples are knackered so I'm looking for a new one. No luck so far.
